Materials

  • Baking soda
  • Cornstarch
  • Warm water
  • Food coloring (easy to find and optional for a vibrant touch)
  • Mixing bowls
  • A spoon or whisk for stirring
  • A surface for drying your dinosaur eggs
  • Small plastic dinosaurs (substitute-friendly with small toys or trinkets)

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, combine two parts baking soda with one part cornstarch. The powdery texture feels soft beneath your fingertips, providing a sensory starting point.
  • Gradually add warm water, just enough to form a dough-like consistency. Take your time with this step, enjoying the way the materials blend together.
  • If you choose to add food coloring, mix it in slowly. Watch as the colors swirl and change, creating delightful visual patterns.
  • Begin molding the mixture into egg shapes using your hands. Feel the coolness of the dough as you create each form. Let your imagination guide you in size and shape.
  • If you want to add a touch of creativity, gently press a small dinosaur into the center of each egg. This adds an enchanting surprise when revealed.
  • Place your formed eggs on a drying surface. Allow them to sit for at least 24 hours, basking in the calm that comes from waiting.
  • When dry, you can paint or decorate them further. Use gentle strokes to add your personal artistic flair, enhancing the sensory experience.
